  • Read More About Sheryl Sandberg by Jessica Wang
    Jessica Wang on Sheryl Sandberg Sheryl Sandberg is currently the COO of Facebook, one of the first employees at Google, and was ranked in 2011 by Forbes as the 5th Most Powerful Woman in the World. Born in 1969, Sandberg grew up in North Miami Beach and attended Harvard where she majored in Economics. During her time at Harvard, she caught the attention of one of her professors, Larry Summers, who volunteered to serve as her thesis adviser. Sandberg graduated first in the economics department, and eventually went on to work for Summers at the World Bank. After two years there, she went to Harvard Business School, worked at McKinsey for a year, then went back to work as chief of staff for Summers, who was now Deputy Treasury Secretary under the Clinton Administration. In 2001, Sandberg joined Google after being convinced by Eric Schmidt to get on the “rocket ship”. While there, she took over AdWords and AdSense and made both products wildly profitable. She also oversaw AOL’s deal with Google in 2002 to make it AOL’s primary search engine. Eventually, Sandberg tried for the COO position at Google but couldn’t get it, and began talking to Mark Zuckerberg about Facebook. She joined Facebook as COO in 2008. One of the cornerstones of Sandberg’s life and advice to her mentees is Acting with Authenticity when it comes to choosing a profession – doing something you truly love. If this is not in place, then all domains of one’s life will suffer. Sandberg left her job at McKinsey, and then later at Google, when she felt that she was no longer passionate about her work or making an impact.
